Do you want to sell your wedding dress? Here are some tips to keep in mind:

A bride’s wedding dress is almost sacred to her – but that doesn’t mean you will want to keep it around forever. If you have decided you will want to sell your wedding gown once everything is over, make sure to check with the following tips because they will be truly helpful throughout the entire process:

· The best way to sell your used wedding dress is by putting it up online. There are hundreds of brides searching for a slightly used wedding gown precisely because they want something truly special (such as a dress created by a famous designer), but cannot afford paying for the retail price.

· In general, you should price your dress at approximately 50% of the price you paid for it – as long as the dress is not older than 2 years and as long as it is in great condition. To make sure it looks flawless for the sale photos, get it to a professional cleaner and steamer before you post the announcement. If your dress was created by an extremely famous designer (e.g. Vera Wang, for example), you stand a good chance to receive about 60% of its retail price for it.

· Make sure you make your announcement as attractive as possible. Shoot nice pictures from all angles, so that brides-to-be can see all the intricacies and particularities of your dress. Also, don’t forget to mention your exact measurements at the moment of the wedding, so that they can order something that’s suitable for them.

Getting the Perfect 1920s Wedding Style

Many brides come to us wanting to know how to get the perfect Gatsby-inspired look for their wedding day. It’s a popular choice and one that really is elegant. Here are a few of our top tips for the perfect 1920s wedding style.

• Sleek silk dresses are a great choice for this style. The goal here is to replicate the silent film stars of the era. Look for V-neck styles, deeply plunging backs, and a soft sheen for an authentic look. Lace accents can also give your gown a touch of vintage glamour.
• Ivory, blush, and bisque tones are often better than white. While silvery white can be used, the antique style of off-white tones can give a more period look to your gown.
• Headpieces are a big part of the look. As you shop for your dress, also consider what you’ll wear on your head. Low caps, veils, and headbands are all perfect choices.
• Channel your inner flapper for a more casual style. If your wedding is more focused on the Prohibition-era parties, look for a dress that brings the flapper style back. For this you’ll want a short dress, with fringe, frills, or other touches that really give your gown some motion.
